Do you remember Hogan's Heroes? Sgt Schultz always said, "I know nothing". Americans used this catchphrase in their opposition to Irish and German immigrants in the 1850's, and then this phrase is used by Germans against Americans in a POW camp set in Germany...maybe more of a pop culture musing than historical, but it just made me ponder if it was intentional
